13 Project 2 Project Title:- Community Center Child Development Project Project Manager: SUJEET BARI Funder/Support Agency: Plan India Starting date of the Project: January 2011 COVERAGE District: West Singhbhum Block: 1 (Khutpani) Panchayats 4 (Bhoya, Kayadchalam, Matkubera, Ruidih) Villages 15 Population (Direct)-Khutpani: 8268 Population (Indirect)-Khutpani: 8268 BACKGROUND West Singhbhum is one of the oldest districts of Jharkhand. There are two accounts relating to the origin of the name of the district. Firstly the name Singhbhum or the lands of Singhs has been derived from the patronymic of the Singh Rajas of Porahat. Secondly the name is an altered form of Singhbonga the principal deity of the tribal s; it is situated about 150 kilometers away from Ranchi, the capital of the State of Jharkhand. People s Life Population of the area is predominantly inhabited by Ho tribe. Among the different other Castes, the Machua, Gope, Lohar are also present in the area who belongs to backward caste. Agriculture is the main source of income of the people. But most of the people are marginal farmers. Due to low income and lack of employment throughout the year, people tend to migrate to urban & nearby areas in search of livelihood as daily wage labourer, especially the male members of the family. Most of the houses are made up of thatched or local mud tiled (Khapra) roofs with mud walls and floor plastered with cow dung. Women do the household chores and girls support their mothers in looking after younger siblings, cooking, collection of fire woods and other daily household chores. The main food habit of the area is rice, Dalia (semi solid food made up of wheat), roti (flat bread made from wheat) and vegetable curry. In the predominantly rural state of Jharkhand, villagers have historically eked out a living with almost no reserves, so that in case of drought or other natural disaster their only recourse is for male family members to migrate elsewhere to find work. In addition to living a marginal existence, members of these extremely backward and deprived tribal communities are also resistant to change and therefore not receptive to intervention by outsiders. Hindi is the main language of the state; but people speak local tribal dialect Ho & Santhali. The main festivals is celebrated by the people is likemaghe-this festival is observed to bring prosperity to the community. Baa -. This festival is celebrated to mark the splendor of the nature, Hearo-No one sows any seed before the celebration of this festival, Jomnamah- When the first crop is ready for harvesting in the month of Aug-Sep this festival is celebrated. The first harvested crop is cashed in every house on this occasion. Page&10&of&110&
